What Are Dental Fillings?
Most general and easily enacted dental treatment, this most common and best procedure used in dentistry cares for teeth suffering from deterioration due to cavities, cracks or wear. Filling cavities helps in regaining the strength, structure, and function of the tooth, as well as preventing any further decay.
When Do You Need A Filling?
A filling may be necessary if you are experiencing:
Sensitivity of teeth to hot or cold or sweets
Visible dark spots or holes on your teeth
Pain when chewing or biting
Chipped or worn enamel
Our dentists will examine the site fully and X-ray it to determine the treatment options.

The Filling Process
Having filling done is absolutely simple and comfortable.
The tooth is numbed gently so that there is no pain felt.
Then, decay or damage is removed very carefully.

The filling is then polished to a nice and smooth finish, life-like.
